Chapter 22: VSW Club (1/2)

Novis's body was dripping sweat all over. he was Panting hard trying to get oxygen inside his body and doing anything he could to not throw up. Novis wasn't bad at sport but he wasn't good enough to just go out and do a 5k run out of nowhere.

Eventually, Novis ended up completing the 5k run a lot slower then Arthur had expected but Arthur could see he had given it a good try. Novis had run around his block and when he finally arrived back at home the sun had already risen. With no rest in between, it was time for Novis to go to school.

Unfortunately for Novis, the first class of the day was PE. Novis was currently outside on the football field. He felt like he was ready to collapse at any moment. Although he didn't feel tired, it was a strange feeling to feel like you had been up all day.

As Novis was standing still someone had booted the ball towards him, the ball was coming at a fast speed directly for his face.

”Watch out!” someone shouted.

The ball looked like it was certainly going to hit his face, then suddenly Novis reacted quickly punching the ball away.

The sound of a whistle blue.

”Free kick to the red team.” the teacher said.

”Hey, you idiot it's football, not dodge ball.”

Novis had been practising with Arthur many hours on blocking his attacks. When the ball came towards him it was just an instinct for him to hit it away.

With P.E coming to an end his next class started, Novis got through it as usual and it was finally break time.

Scarlett had been watching Novis and he seemed down today not as energised, so she decided to go over and cheer try to cheer him up.

”You seem a bit tired today, what's up?” She said

”Oh, Arthur had me run 5k today.”

Scarlett looked a bit confused.

”Arthur, who's Arthur you don't know anyone called Arthur?”

It was a slip of the tongue from Novis, he was just so worn out he blurted what was on his mind.

”Oh, he's my coach for VSW game.”

”You got a coach, wow you really are taking this thing seriously, speaking of the game I've been watching videos on the game I can't wait to play. Alex said I could come by the clubroom today and play, you can come with us if you want?”

”Alex who's Alex?”

”He's the leader of the schools VSW club. When he heard I was interested in the game he invited me along.”

Straight away Novis then answered,

”Yeah, I'll come with you, my coach says I can't play but it might be good to check out the club.”
